2 Timothy 3
1 This knowe also, that in the last dayes shall come perilous times.
But this know, that in the last days there will be difficult times;
2 For men shalbe louers of their owne selues, couetous, boasters, proud, cursed speakers, disobedient to parents, vnthankefull, vnholy,
for men will be selfish, covetous, arrogant, proud, blasphemers, undutiful to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 Without naturall affection, truce breakers, false accusers, intemperate, fierce, no louers at all of them which are good,
without natural affection, perfidious, false accusers, intemperate, savage, enemies to the good, traitors,
4 Traitours, headie, high minded, louers of pleasures more then louers of God,
headstrong, conceited, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God,
5 Hauing a shewe of godlinesse, but haue denied the power thereof: turne away therefore from such.
having a form of godliness, but strangers to the power of it: from such turn away.
6 For of this sort are they which creepe into houses, and leade captiue simple women laden with sinnes, and led with diuers lustes,
For of these are they who insinuate themselves into families, and captivate weak women, that are laden with sins,
7 Which women are euer learning, and are neuer able to come to the acknowledging of the trueth.
and led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
8 And as Iannes and Iambres withstoode Moses, so doe these also resist the trueth, men of corrupt mindes, reprobate concerning the faith.
And as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; being men of corrupt minds, and of no judgement in the faith.
9 But they shall preuaile no longer: for their madnesse shalbe euident vnto all men, as theirs also was.
But they shall not proceed far: for their folly shall be evident to all, as theirs also was.
10 But thou hast fully knowen my doctrine, maner of liuing, purpose, faith, long suffering, loue, patience,
But thou art well acquainted with my doctrine, conduct, purpose, faith, long-suffering, charity, patience, persecutions,
11 Persecutions, and afflictions which came vnto me at Antiochia, at Iconium, and at Lystri, which persecutions I suffered: but from them all the Lord deliuered me.
sufferings, which befel me at Antioch, in Iconium, in Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and how the Lord delivered me out of them all.
12 Yea, and all that will liue godly in Christ Iesus, shall suffer persecution.
And indeed all, that are desirous to live godly in Christ Jesus, shall suffer persecution.
13 But the euill men and deceiuers, shall waxe worse and worse, deceiuing, and being deceiued.
But wicked men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the thinges which thou hast learned, and which are committed vnto thee, knowing of who thou hast learned them:
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learnt, and been assured of, knowing from whom thou hast learned them;
15 And that thou hast knowen the holy Scriptures of a childe, which are able to make thee wise vnto saluation, through the faith which is in Christ Iesus.
and that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus: for all scripture is by inspiration from God,
16 For the whole Scripture is giuen by inspiration of God, and is profitable to teache, to conuince, to correct, and to instruct in righteousnesse,
and is profitable for doctrine, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;
17 That the man of God may be absolute, being made perfect vnto all good workes.
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly fitted for every good work.
